By the end of the 2019 season, Red Bull Racing set numerous world records for fastest pit stops. However, as expected, the team was still eager to push itself to new heights, literally.

Ford has unleashed a new contender for the 2025 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and it’s a far cry from the Mustang Mach-E you’d spot at a charging station. Revealed on June 16, 2025, the Super Mustang Mach-E is a purpose-built electric race car designed to dominate the treacherous 12.42-mile, 156-turn ascent to 14,115 feet in Colorado’s Rockies. With a staggering 1,421 horsepower, an aerodynamic package generating up to 12,000 pounds of downforce, and veteran driver Romain Dumas at the wheel, this machine is Ford’s boldest bid yet for Pikes Peak glory.
On June 22, 2025, a Honda CR-V will carve its way up the 12.42-mile, 156-turn gauntlet of the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, nicknamed “The Race to the Clouds.” This isn’t your standard CR-V, though—it’s the e:FCEV, the first hydrogen-powered vehicle to ever tackle this iconic Colorado mountain course.
On June 11, 2025, at the Le Mans 24 Hours’ H2 Village in France, Toyota pulled the curtain off their GR LH2 Racing Concept—a liquid hydrogen-powered race car that marks a giant leap forward for sustainable race cars.
Ford wants to flip the script on what an electric vehicle can be. The Super Mustang Mach-E, a one-off beast crafted for the brutal Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on June 22, 2025, is a sleek, mean coupe ready to tear up Colorado’s mountains with a powertrain that screams future-tech bravado.
Racing fans, get excited! The sleek Genesis GMR-001 hypercar was shown to the public for the first time at the 2025 New York International Auto Show.

The Ford Mustang GTD completed a sub-7 minute lap at Nürburgring promise and becomes the fastest car from an American brand to do so. It managed to finish the 12.9-mile, 73-turn “Green Hell” in a blistering 6:57.685.
